I am trying to get aws-cli running on my unRAID server so I can use it with user-scripts. I have un-get installed and was able to install aws-cli using it. It seems it does not handle dependencies, so I am going through until I find them all. I already had python installed. So far, I have installed the following packages.

un-get install aws-cli python-botocore python-jmespath python-dateutil python-six python-urllib3 colorama python-docutils python-PyYAML python-s3transfer rsa pyasn1

 

Now I am getting the following error when trying to run the aws command.

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm not sure where to go from here and was hoping someone here may be able to help.

Are you still having troubles with this? I got the AWS CLI working by installing it via docker, mounting a drive from the NAS that has the .config and .credentials files so I could then use it with multiple profiles. I wanted an easy way of running it to perform some off-prem backups to S3 so I then use the User Scripts plugin to create a bash script that installed it via docker and then ran the commands I need.

I put together a simple GIST using an example of listing the S3 bucket: https://gist.github.com/StevenMapes/f7a9959f9bac076219421664fa4165f3

 

Obviously that doesn't cover setting up the IAMs but it's the cleanest way I've found of using the AWS CLI with Unraid

I need aws-cli to work while docker service is offline, so I downloaded the installer from amazon into some directory in boot drive.

 

then running produces a weird message like:

 

root@akina:/mnt/user/bucket/setup# sudo sh /boot/config/custom/aws/install
/boot/config/custom/aws/install: line 78: /boot/config/custom/aws/dist/aws: Permission denied
You can now run: /usr/local/bin/aws --version

I then realised aws executables are not really executables so I ran:
 

root@akina:/mnt/user/bucket/setup# chmod +x /usr/local/aws-cli/v2/current/dist/aws
root@akina:/mnt/user/bucket/setup# chmod +x /usr/local/aws-cli/v2/current/dist/aws_completer
root@akina:/mnt/user/bucket/setup# aws --version
aws-cli/2.23.6 Python/3.12.6 Linux/6.1.118-Unraid exe/x86_64.slackware.15

seems to work despite the weird error messages.

I guess the messages are indecipherable because I got neither mandoc nor groff

root@akina:/mnt/user/bucket/setup# aws help

Could not find executable named "groff or mandoc"
